Why are people who died after having Covid vaccine excluded from compensation scheme?
Jabber Johnson: if the prime minister had suffered ill effects after having the vaccine, you can be sure the Tories would have rushed to ensure that he received financial compensation. But because only ordinary people have suffered and died, it seems they aren’t interested in compensating bereaved families.
This is shocking:
The families of people who have died after being vaccinated against Covid-19 are being excluded from support schemes because the government has not included their circumstances in the relevant forms.
The Mirror has reported on the case of Stephen Wright, who died of a blood clot on the brain that developed after he had the Oxford/Astrazeneca jab.
There is a compensation process for people whose health is harmed after vaccinations – but it is geared towards children who develop a vaccine-related disability.
A law passed in 1979 says people who suffer harm from vaccines can claim damages from the government of up to £120,000 (£470,000 today, adjusted for inflation). But to do so, victims must prove that they are at least 60 per cent disabled as a result of vaccination.
The form does not allow for the possibility of a vaccinated person dying, and family members are therefore unable to use it to claim compensation.
Mr Wright’s wife Charlotte, having been provided with the form after his death, had to create a box in it to say that he had died.
When the Mirror article was published yesterday, she had not received any confirmation that the form was being processed by the government – or even that it had been received.
This is no way to treat people.
The government knows that people have died as a result of Covid-19 vaccination. News stories on this subject have proliferated over the last few months and 65 other families are known to be in the same situation as Ms Wright.
So why hasn’t the compensation scheme been adjusted to provide help for these people?
Is it further evidence of our Tory government’s utter incompetence – ministers simply never stopped to think that they should make sure compensation would be paid if people died?
Or do they simply not care?

Isn’t bureaucracy in the real world gruesome? If you die from vaccination, you’re 60% or more disabled, in the case of mortality that’s 100% surely?
Whot about those who died at their hands under their aktion t4 program denial of benefits now it’s into a vast amount of people here in UK mass murder but they not worry they all have get out of jail cards
Of course the Tories don’t care. When have they ever cared about peasants (as they regard us)? Mike you have seen how they treat benefits claimants and the ill and disabled since 2010, you have done some good covering of the topic over a period of time. The treatment of the ill, disabled and now the general population is all part of a big plan, otherwise known as Eugenics. Surely people can see the pattern? The first victims were the ill and disabled and the public weren’t that bothered because it only affected a small number, particularly not them, but now millions are the targets. See the patterns. Compensation for what when the aim is death to millions. The Tories are on target.
